Commitment - a word that's both terrifying and exciting. I don't necessarily think of myself as a commitmentphobe, but more phobic of the first step in being committed - taking the plunge, as it were. I'm not scared of being commited, but I'm scared of the actual committing. Does that make sense? Psychology is so… Continue reading Inkbox – A Commitmentphobe’s Wet Dream

Trying to Date with a Chronic Disease
With Valentine's right around the corner, I thought I'd offer you a sneak-peak into one of the most terrifying things in the world of being chronically ill - DATING. I'm a very affectionate person. It doesn't matter whether I'm sober or pissed - you are getting a cuddle from me. I like holding hands, I… Continue reading Trying to Date with a Chronic Disease
Self Love Playlist
You know who the only person you have for life is? It's you. You're not going anywhere. Self love is an easy thing to preach, but can be hard to put into practise. Like when you love others, you can't just switch the love on, and sometimes it fizzles out, and the way you show… Continue reading Self Love Playlist
How to Style: The Band Tee
The band tee - a surprisingly versatile wardrobe staple; a piece of clothing deserving of being hung up rather than bundled in a drawer. Other than just being universally comfortable, band tees are also a statement. When you see someone wearing a band tee, they're telling you something about themselves. Yeah, I know you shouldn't… Continue reading How to Style: The Band Tee
Don’t Let The Door Hit Your Arse On The Way Out, 2020!
So 2020 happened. I don't think any of us were expecting it to go like that, but we went with it. Not like we had much of a choice. 2020 was a weird year for a variety of reasons - on a personal level, it was surprisingly decent in some aspects, but on a general… Continue reading Don’t Let The Door Hit Your Arse On The Way Out, 2020!
Seasonal Cinnamon Cupcakes
I think cupcakes were the very first thing I ever learnt to bake. I mean, I probably iced Digestive biscuits in primary school and covered them in sprinkles and those jelly gems you couldn't help eating, but does that really count? Whenever I'm in the mood to bake, cupcakes are the first thing that come… Continue reading Seasonal Cinnamon Cupcakes
Lifestyle Update
The other day I went to the doctor's. Totally routine, expected to be there for 10 minutes while the nurse checked my blood pressure and gave me my latest contraceptive injection. I ended up being there 35 minutes, and walked the long way home, taking advantage of the crisp and chilly Autumn air (my fave).… Continue reading Lifestyle Update
So Many Handbags, Too Little Outings
I think my handbag collection is a relatively healthy size. It may not be the most diverse collection in terms of design and colour, but every piece serves a purpose and has a story. I'm also not someone who'll spend serious cash on a bag, but my collection isn't made of £10 designer dupes from… Continue reading So Many Handbags, Too Little Outings
6 Small Businesses to Support With Your Christmas Cash
It's November. It is officially pre-Christmas time. Accept it. I start my Christmas shopping early, and by "early" I mean on Boxing Day. I just get very excited! I love giving presents - showing my appreciation to people, showing how much they mean to me, getting to really spoil them if I can. This year… Continue reading 6 Small Businesses to Support With Your Christmas Cash
The Halloween Films You Need For a Spooky Night In
It's finally October! My favourite season is here! Bring on the pumpkin spice, bring on the longer evenings, bring on the one-figure temperatures - my time is here! But the best thing about October? Well, it's obviously Halloween. To be honest, as much as I love dressing up and getting a bit tipsy at the… Continue reading The Halloween Films You Need For a Spooky Night In
